Subject: How to: Open numbered files as layers with limited opacity?

Wonder if anyone has an easy solution for this. What I'd like to do is to take an animation, rendered as numbered files (eg Anim001.tif, Anim002.tif, etc) as layers in Photoshop, with each layer coming in with a low opacity.  The idea is to build up a kind of synthetic motion blur.

Talking about a lot of frames here (approx 100) so I don't want to have to go and manually load each frame, or set its opacity by hand. . .

Is there a one click solution?

How about a two click solution? :biggrin:

Create a droplet to reduce opacity and save to a new filename.

Then read the new files into layers. (I think thats already a function in CS2)

Hmmm. Gonna try this. Reading files into layers works . . . its adjusting the opacity of all the layers that's the pain. But you're suggesting creating files which have lower opacity, and reading them in. . .might just be the ticket: thanks for the thoughtful suggestion.

Photoshop does have scripting. I haven't gone into it enough myself to give any details, but I think you can google around a bit and make a command that does a batch open, etc. to do what you need.
